Nope, no feature changes. These changes (ironically) were to solve
other problems with colourmap issues when using Display/register
remotely....  Meaning if we change it back GLUT will start breaking in
other places for others. Odds are there is no one combination that
will work for everyone so we might have to go down the heady path of a
few more C/L switches (register {-rgb,-mac,-lut} ...) to keep everyone
happy.
